Just when Gao Yaoshi's sword was about to fall on Zhongshi Dao's head, there was only a "bang" sound, and a long spear deflected Gao Yaoshi's sword away. A horse general rushed over and opened his eyes angrily. With both eyes, he shouted loudly to Yaoshi Gao: "Don't hurt my lord!" While shouting, he held up Yaoshi Gao's sword, and at the same time raised his foot and kicked the maroon horse hard in the crotch of Yaoshi Gao.
The bay red horse was kicked by General Song who came over. It suddenly trembled and jumped again, almost knocking Gao Yaoshi off the horse. Just like the bay-red horse he was riding, Gao Yaoshi was frightened by the coming general and withdrew his sword forcefully.
Gao Yaoshi was in shock. General Song, who rushed over, raised his hand and shot Gao Yaoshi in the chest. Gao Yaoshi screamed in fright, leaned back, lay on the horse, and dodged the shot.
At this time, several generals around Gao Yaoshi protected Gao Yaoshi while surrounding the approaching Song general. The Song general who rushed over shouted: "Look at the gun!" As he shouted, a Liao general was stabbed under his horse. The general turned around and shouted to Master Zhongdao on the side: "Old Master, leave quickly! I'm here to fight these Liao people!"
Who do you think will come? It turns out that the coming general is Wang Jinye, the gun and stick instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army in Yuan Tokyo!
Before Gao Qiu became famous, he worked as a gangster on the streets of Tokyo. Once again, he lost his leg in a stick match with Wang Jin's father, Wang Sheng, and broke his leg with a stick. He had to raise him for more than half a year, and he suffered a lot. Later, Gao Qiu became prosperous and became a lieutenant in the palace. When he learned that Wang Jin was Wang Sheng's son, he finally seized the opportunity for revenge, so he couldn't get along with Wang Jin and tried every means to deal with Wang Jin.
A good man does not suffer immediate losses. Wang Jin also recognized the Taiwei who was sitting on the commander's seat in the Palace Commander's Mansion. He was a high school sophomore who used to be a gangster on the streets of Tokyo. His father had his legs broken, so he was in trouble with him. He knew that if he didn't leave, he would definitely eat this. He was killed by his servant, so he left Tokyo with his eighty-year-old mother in two nights and took refuge in Yan'an Prefecture under the old Zhongjing Luexiang Gong Zhongshi Dao Zhang, and became a prefecture official.
Since then, Wang Jin has been following Mr. Lao Zhong to guard the northern border. A few days ago, Zhong Shidao received an order from Tong Guan to wait in Baozhou, and then the imperial army marched north to Khitan. Before leaving, Zhong Shidao selected twelve generals from the Jinyang army, including Wang Jin. Therefore, Wang Jin followed Zhong Shidao and participated in this battle.
At that time, Zhongshi Dao saw Wang Jin resisting Gao Yaoshi and standing with several Liao generals. He also roared and raised his sword to kill those Liao generals. Seeing the bravery of their commander, the Song troops under Zhong Shidao all rose up bravely, holding up huge stiles, either poking off the Liao generals on their horses, or cutting off the legs of the Liao army's horses. The Liao army's advantage was temporarily unable to unfold.
However, the Liao army was very powerful at that time, so it became entangled with the Song army and became glued together.
The two sides fought from noon to dusk, but the Liao army did not gain any advantage before retreating. The Song army led by Zhong Shidao was also seriously damaged and unable to fight anymore, so he also led his troops back to the Song camp.
Xin Xingzong and Wang Zhen of the West Route Army were also defeated by the Liao Army and staggered back.
After losing the first battle, Tong Guan was helpless.
In this battle, the Liao army had a slight upper hand.
After the Song army was repulsed, the Liao army was greatly encouraged. In Youzhou City, the new emperor Yelu Chun and the empress Xiao Puxian specially summoned Xiao Qian, the privy envoy of the North Academy, generals Yelu Dashi, Han Wei, Guo Yaoshi and other ordinary generals. In addition to providing more comfort, they also discussed the next military action.
Although Xiao Puxian is a woman, she is a knowledgeable person. After Yelu Chun praised the generals, Xiao Puxiannu said: "My generals, our army has won a great victory. The Song army suffered such a heavy setback. The morale of the army must be shaken and morale low. However, with the Song and Jin forces joining forces, our country is facing enemies from both sides and is at a disadvantage." We are still there, so don't be careless. In my view, the army should not be slack in preparing for war; we should take advantage of the victory in this battle and send envoys to the Song Dynasty to persuade the Southern Dynasty to retreat, so that the imperial court can prepare its troops and deal exclusively with the Jurchens."
Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi, Han Ao, Gao Yaoshi and other ministers and generals all replied loudly: "What the Queen said is true! We will obey Yi's order."
Yelu Chun looked at Xiao Qian, the Privy Council envoy from the North Courtyard, and asked, "Privy Councilor Xiao, in your opinion, who should be sent as envoy to the Song army?"
When Xiao Qian asked, he turned his head and looked around to see who would be more suitable to send as envoy to the Song army. While Xiao Qian was watching, Yelv Sheng stepped forward and reported to Yelu Chun: "The Holy One, the Holy Queen, the Privy Envoy, and the lower officials are willing to send envoys to the Song Army again."
Yelu Chun, Xiao Puxiannu, and Xiao Qian were overjoyed when they saw this. Yelu Chun immediately expressed his position: "If Prince Yelu is willing to send the Song Army as an envoy again, it would be great; however, what if the Song Army persists in his stubbornness?"
"Fight!" Gao Yaoshi, who was standing on the side, took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, if the Song army is stubborn, we can only fight with him to end the war. The ever-victorious army is on standby, as long as With His Majesty's command, we will attack forward at any time."
"Okay!" Yelu Chun was overjoyed and said loudly: "Military affairs are under the full responsibility of Privy Envoy Xiao. Marshal Dashi will make detailed plans, charge into battle, and attack the enemy to win. It all depends on the generals to use their lives to ensure that the battle is invincible."
Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi, Han Ao, Gao Yaoshi and other ministers and generals replied loudly: "I will obey the imperial edict!"
After discussing the above, the court dispersed immediately.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Yelu Dashi immediately sent Yelu Sheng as an envoy to the Song army again to persuade the Song army to retreat and not to assist the Jurchens in attacking Youzhou.
Yelu Sheng was ordered to ride a war horse and gallop south. He came to the central camp of the Song Army again and paid homage to Marshal Tong Guan.
When the soldiers saw that the Liao army envoy was coming again, they sent a message in.
At that time, Tong Guan and Cai You were studying the next military operation with some important generals.
After Tong Guan heard the report, he ordered: "Both the Liao army and military envoys are coming, tell them in, and listen to what he has to say."
The soldiers got the order and took Yelu Sheng into the Chinese army's tent.
After entering the Chinese army's tent, Ye Lusheng bowed down and saluted Tong Guan, who was sitting on the commander's seat, then turned around and bowed down to salute Cai You, who was sitting next to Tong Guan, and then went around to salute some of the generals of the Song army present. salute.
Tong Guan and Cai You did not say anything. Among the generals present, after Yelu Sheng finished saluting, they all nodded slightly. Wei Zhongshidao stood up and gave Yelu Sheng a salute in return.
Tong Guan, who was sitting high in the coach's seat, saw this and frowned, feeling displeased.
After the ceremony, Yelu Sheng looked up and said: "Commander, I have received the order of Marshal Yelu Dashi from my court and am here to send an envoy to your army again."
After saying that, Yelu Sheng bowed to Tong Guan very humbly.
Tong Guan sat high on the commander's seat, smiled coldly and ignored him, his attitude was very arrogant.
Generals such as Zhong Shidao and Yang Keshi sitting on both sides felt that Tong Guan had gone too far and was disrespectful.
After Yelu Sheng saluted, he didn't care about Tong Guan's attitude and continued: "The commander-in-chief is here, and the humble envoy is sent to your army again. He has only one purpose, which is to hope that your army can assess the situation, distinguish things clearly, withdraw his troops and return to the court." , the Liao and Song dynasties renewed their relationship and established friendly relations to jointly deal with the threat posed by the Jurchens."
Tong Guan nodded and said: "Come, envoy, what you meant was made clear when you were sent to our army last time, and I also gave you a clear answer. If you don't have anything new to express when you come this time, please You just leave, there is nothing more to say between our two armies, we will just see you on the battlefield."
"Commander!" Yelv Sheng bowed again, and then said: "The Jurchens betrayed our country, just like Fang La rebelled against your dynasty. Your dynasty should also be jealous and try its best to help our country. Today, our country is facing a crisis that has lasted for more than two hundred years. The crisis is unprecedented, and we urgently need the support of your country, which has been a friendly neighbor for a hundred years. How can your country be greedy for temporary profits, abandon a century-old good, and make money to build a neighbor, which will bring disaster in the future?! Moreover, since the Chanzhou alliance, Song and Liao exchanged envoys, and the relationship has always been good. Not long ago, on the birthday of the emperor of our country, the commander-in-chief came to our country as your envoy to congratulate the birthday of the Lord of Liao to congratulate our Lord on his birthday. Such a friendly federation should be cherished. The humble envoy advises Commander, think twice and never do what Meng Lang did."
Tong Guan was usually sharp-tongued, even the unreasonable was reasonable, and he could always speak clearly and rationally. However, at this moment, because he had fought a battle with the Liao Kingdom and did not win the victory he expected, he had no confidence in his heart and could not speak smoothly. , was actually made speechless by the Liao envoy.
When the boy was speechless, Yelu Sheng bowed again and begged: "Commander, think more about our country's past good deeds and don't forget our past mistakes. Between the Liao and Song dynasties, everything can be discussed again, and there is no need for war. See, both sides will suffer a loss. Commander Wanwang stopped his troops and made peace."
After a long time after Yelu Sheng's speech, Tong Guan just hesitated and said: "Come here, what you have requested is already known to me. I will report it to our court and inform you again after I have made it clear in my pilgrimage."
Yelu Sheng said: "The commander-in-chief is here. You know, the general is outside, and military orders are not obeyed. In the current situation, your army is not sure of victory. In the Liao-Jin War, although our country is currently at a disadvantage, it has a vast territory. The troops and horses are strong and have the conditions to achieve final victory. The humble envoy told the commander-in-chief that your army is invading. Our army has been well prepared and is waiting in full formation. We are not afraid of fighting your army. I was ordered to send your army because I just wanted to do so. The friendship between the two countries has lasted for more than a hundred years, and I am just here to give you some advice. Commander, please don’t get lost for a moment, as it will actually help the Jurchens a lot."
Yelu Sheng saw that Tong Guan could not be moved by softening, so he became tough on him. When Tong Guan heard this, he acted violently and said loudly: "How reckless! Since your country's troops are strong and ready, the two sides can just fight. What are you doing by running into the Chinese army's tent? Get out of here! Go back and tell your marshal, or offer a sacrifice." Everything is easy to say about the city; if you don’t surrender the city, you will be attacked by our army, and it will be too late to regret it!"
Yelu Sheng said: "Commander above, you can deceive people, but you can't deceive heaven. If the Song army insists on attacking Youzhou, they will help the Jurchens, and they will be invaded by the Jurchens in the future. I advise the commander to think twice."
"Don't say any more!" Tong Guan shouted, "Get out!"
When the soldiers saw this, they drove Yelu Sheng out of the Chinese army's tent.
